Ukraine and the United States of America have taken another important step toward strengthening economic ties and partnership relations by signing a historic memorandum with the prospect of concluding a comprehensive agreement on the development and utilization of mineral resources
This is not just a formality — it’s a signal of the intentions of both sides to collaborate in the field of natural resources, modernize infrastructure, and attract investments for the country's recovery. According to Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy Yulia Svyridenko, the signing of the document marked an important stage in the development of bilateral relations. She emphasized that this memorandum confirms the constructive joint work of the Ukrainian and American teams, aimed at finalizing and signing an agreement that will eventually benefit both peoples and open new opportunities for investment projects. "Today, we took another step toward the future — we signed a memorandum that is an important component of our economic partnership with the USA. It demonstrates our commitment to work together to create conditions for the stable development and recovery of Ukraine. One of our main priorities is the creation of the Investment Fund for reconstruction, which will open broad opportunities for attracting external capital, upgrading strategic infrastructure, and forming a strong economic base for the country," Svyridenko's words are quoted as saying. According to the minister, this document reflects the willingness of the American people and business community to actively invest in a free, independent, and sovereign Ukraine. This is an important signal to the global community and an opportunity to attract significant financial resources for large-scale projects in the field of natural resources, which will contribute not only to stabilizing the economy but also to the gradual industrialization of the country. Previous steps include the signing of a Memorandum of Intent, which, according to Svyridenko, further confirms strong intentions to cooperate in the mineral resources sector. She noted progress in this direction: "We are approaching the signing of a detailed agreement on the development of mineral riches, which opens serious opportunities for industrial development, job creation, and attracting foreign investments." The next stage will be the coordination of the final text of the agreement, its official signing, and subsequent ratification by the relevant parliamentary bodies. This will allow for the practical implementation of the agreements, laying the foundation for cooperation that could change Ukraine's economic landscape and make it an attractive partner for foreign investors. Thus, this memorandum becomes yet another proof of Ukraine’s desire to deepen integration into the global economy, open new opportunities for the development of natural raw materials, and create conditions for stable economic growth for the benefit of the Ukrainian people.
